OpenAI Expert Council Guides ChatGPT and Sora Ethics

We’ve assembled the Expert Council on Well-Being and AI to help guide our ongoing work to build more helpful ChatGPT and Sora experiences for everyone. The eight-person council brings together leading researchers and experts with decades of experience studying how technology affects our emotions, motivation, and mental health. Their role is to advise us, pose questions and help define what healthy interactions with AI should look like for all ages.

Earlier this year, we began consulting many of these experts informally, such as when we were developing parental controls(opens in a new window) and the notification language for parents when a teen may be in distress. As we formalized the new council, we broadened our search to include additional experts in psychology, psychiatry, and human-computer interaction, bringing in new perspectives on how people relate to and are affected by technology. Because teens use ChatGPT differently than adults, we’ve also included several council members with backgrounds in understanding how to build technology that supports healthy youth development.
